They are weary from trying.
The night lingers on,
No joy toward the dawn.
Then suddenly a sound
Comes from the shore,
"Let down your nets."
"Try over there."
Full to overflowing,
Sides bursting their seams.
The nets hold their fill,
One Hundred plus Fifty-three!
Is your net empty?
Are you weary from trying?
From shore the Master calls,
"Let down your net, try over there."
Do as He says,
You won't regret
That wonderful day
You let down your net.
John 21:1-11

Today's sermon referenced this scripture and Pastor Joel made the scripture alive with excitement. I recalled this prose from long ago and went searching for it. I am glad I did because it was typed on thermal paper and was fading away! Oh how our Master wants us to listen and obey. He will do more than we could ever imagine if we will let down our nets in response to His prompting :-)
